Sinonasal glomangiopericytoma is a benign rare tumour of pericytes that accounts for less than 0.5% of all sinonasal tumours. It is an indolent tumour with a macroscopic appearance of common inflammatory polyps. We report the case of a 55-year-old male who presented with right nasal obstruction. CT and MRI examinations demonstrated a soft-tissue mass that obstructed mainly the right nasal cavit...

Introduction: Sinonasal masses are a wide range of pathologies ranging from simple nasal polyps to rare tumors like esthesioneuroblastomas. Early symptoms of all of them are similar to common nasal and sinus problems, hence, producing a delay in diagnosis. Materials and methods: All the patients presenting with sinonasal masses in the Department of ENT and Head/Neck Surgery, SRMS Institute of M...

aim : the aim of this study was to analyze clinical findings and treatment outcomes of patients with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography complications. background : endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography has become a very common procedure for the evaluation and treatment of biliary and pancreatic diseases. patients and methods : a retrospective review of 2447 endoscopic retro...

INTRODUCTION Endoscopic techniques have been used extensively for the treatment of sinonasal skull base defects and resulting cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks. Endoscopic surgery allows for improved visualization, high success rates, reduced morbidity, and shorter hospital stays. Most ethmoid and sphenoid skull base defects can be repaired endoscopically, but endoscopic repair of frontal sinus d...

Sinonasal schwannomas are rare, benign and slow-growing peripheral nerve sheath tumors without age, race, or gender predilection. We present the unusual case of a 59-year-old female who presented with right-sided retro-orbital pressure and rhinorrhea. Radiographic imaging revealed a mass centered in the right superior nasal cavity with extension through the cribriform plate into the right more ...

BACKGROUND Oncologic outcomes for sinonasal and skull base squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) treated with an endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA) needs investigation. METHODS Patients with SCC treated with EEA were stratified by treatment strategy and tumor etiology and reviewed. RESULTS Thirty-four patients were treated with EEA, or which 27 had definitive resection and 7 had debulking surgery....

We present the first-ever documented evidence of mitotic figures in a case of sinonasal myxoma diagnosed in a 37 year-old gentleman. A 37 year-old gentleman was referred to the Otolaryngology clinic with left nasal discharge for six months. Preoperative images demonstrated obstruction of the left nasal airway with complete opacification of the left maxillary sinus, obscuration of the osteomeata...

BACKGROUND Facial plastic surgeons may primarily focus on esthetic improvement of the nasal shape in patients seeking rhinoplasty (RP). However, medical conditions inside the nasal cavity should not be neglected because they may lead to unresolved sinonasal problems and, hence, dissatisfaction after esthetic RP. This observational study investigated the prevalence of sinonasal symptoms and end...

INTRODUCTION Malignant tumors of the paranasal sinuses are traditionally managed through external approaches. Advances in endoscopic transnasal surgery have allowed for the endoscopic treatment of some of these tumors. AIM To present the results of treatment of a series of patients with paranasal sinus malignancies treated with an endoscopic approach at a single institution. MATERIAL AND ME...
